Weta Workshop is pleased to release new, never before seen footage of the incredible year-long process of designing and crafting Ghost in the Shell for the screen.
Involving every department at the Workshop, from DesignStudio to Animatronics to Costume and beyond, Weta Workshop worked side by side with director Rupert Sanders and his team to conceptualise Masamune Shirow's seminal property for a live action setting.
Ground-breaking silicone suits. Full 3D printed endo skeletons. Animatronic geisha heads with interior working mechanisms. This was a project of immense complexity, that we were hugely proud to be a part of.

Day 76: Today we are checking out not one but two Weta WorkshopTours in Wellington to see the behind-the-scenes of The Lord of the Rings and Thunderbirds Are Go!
Yesterday - Day 75 ➜ https://youtu.be/t9if5iPtbUM
Tomorrow – Day 77 ➜ https://youtu.be/xEPc0lIMKzU
30 Tips for Backpacking in New Zealand ➜https://youtu.be/Q6m9KB-njRk
-- About this video --
Today we are jumping on a bus from Wellington CityCentre in New Zealand and heading over to Miramar, the home of Weta Studios, Weta Cave and the Weta Workshop!
Weta are the props and special effects team behind huge movies and TV shows, most famously The Lord of the Rings and Avatar, so visiting the Weta Workshop is a must for a Lord of the Rings in New Zealand experience. #realmiddleearth
We arrive at the free portion of Weta’s offerings in Miramar, The Weta Cave. At the Weta Cave you can take a look in their mini museum of Lord of the Rings props and figurines. There is also a behind-the-scenes video to explain the work that Weta Studios and Weta Digital do.
For a more in-depth look at Weta’s work, we join a Weta Workshop Tour which takes us to one of their prop rooms and has windows looking into Weta workers creating props for their next movie. The Weta Workshop Tour allows no photography or filming but it’s a great insight into the movie industry.
After our Weta Workshop Tour, we head on one more tour to see how miniature effects are made with the Weta Thunderbirds Are Go tour. Although we don’t know much about the Thunderbirds Are Go! TV show, we are surprised to be amazed by the miniature worlds created by the Weta New Zealand team. We might even go as far as to say that it was our personal favourite Weta Tour of the day!
So what do you think of the Weta Workshop Tours in Wellington? Would you add the Weta Cave or Weta Workshop Tours to your New Zealand bucket list?

On the anniversary of Power Rangers, we take a look back at the hugely challenging, incredibly rewarding, process of developing the Rangers' suits' intergalactic armour.
With an embedded texture, 'glowing' veins & and a technically advanced Lycra underlayer, these suits were awesome fun to help design and create - and we were thrilled to have the opportunity to work with the Power Rangers' crew on set in Vancouver!

Crafted in the heart of Middle-earth, with the most intricate of details. Every pore infused with an unparalleled dedication to artistry. Weta Workshop is proud to present our first MastersCollection statue: Gollum.
Unveiled for the first time at San Diego Comic-Con 2017, this haunting sculpture is the embodiment of our finest work.
We hope you enjoy.
Learn more at www.wetaworkshop.com/gollum

The company name comes from the weta, "New Zealand's coolest little monster, a bizarre and prickly prehistoric cricket".

Innovations

Chainmail

For The Lord of the Rings film trilogy realistic looking PVCchainmail was made, not just for the lead actors, but also for the hundreds of extras that appeared throughout the films. PVC pipe was cut into rings, assembled by hand into armor, and then electroplated. A total of 12.5 million links were manufactured from 7 miles of PVC pipe.

Ralph Bakshi encountered Tolkien's writing early in his career, and had made several attempts to produce The Lord of the Rings as an animated film before being given funding by producer Saul Zaentz and distributor United Artists. The film is notable for its extensive use of rotoscoping, a technique in which scenes are first shot in live-action, then traced onto animation cels. It uses a hybrid of traditional cel animation and rotoscoped live action footage. The film features the voices of William Squire, John Hurt, Michael Graham Cox, and Anthony Daniels of Star Wars fame, and was one of the first animated films to be presented theatrically in the Dolby Stereo sound system. The screenplay was written by Peter S. Beagle, based on an earlier draft by Chris Conkling.

Cast

Production

In 2008, DreamWorks (which had distributed theatrically in North America through its Go Fish Pictures banner in the film Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence) and Steven Spielberg acquired the rights to produce a live-action film adaptation of the original manga. Avi Arad, Ari Arad, and Steven Paul were later confirmed as producers, with Jamie Moss (Street Kings) to write the screenplay. In October, 2009, it was announced that Laeta Kalogridis (Alexander, Shutter Island) had replaced Moss as writer. On January 24, 2014, it was reported that Rupert Sanders (Snow White and the Huntsman) will direct the film, with a screenplay by William Wheeler (The Hoax, The Reluctant Fundamentalist). On September 3, 2014, Margot Robbie was in early talks for the lead role. On October 16, it was announced that DreamWorks had made a $10 million offer to Scarlett Johansson for the lead role, after Robbie's talks for role fall apart when she was up for the role in Warner Bros.' Suicide Squad, which was moving fast. In May 2015, Paramount Pictures agreed to co-produce and co-finance the film. On November 10, 2015, Pilou Asbæk was cast in the film for the role of Batou, the best fighter and second in command in the army. On November 19, 2015, it was reported that Sam Riley was in early talks to join the film for the villain role as The Laughing Man, the leader of most dangerous criminals and extremists. But, on February 4, 2016, Variety reported that Michael Pitt is in talks for the role.

The board game was highly unusual when it was published, because it is a cooperative board game— each player plays a hobbit in the party, and the party will succeed or fail as a group to destroy the One Ring, thus winning or losing the game.

Weta Workshop Sculptor's Tabletop Miniature World!

Adam Savage checks in on the status of sculptor Johnny Fraser-Allen's tabletop model, which has grown from the intricate Labyrinth we saw two years ago to a sprawling world steeped in fantasy architecture and landscapes that come alive. We're awestruck by the design and details of these models, which Johnny has brilliantly made to be modular and customizable. We can't wait to play in Hagglethorn Hollow!

Weta Workshop Sculptor's Tabletop Miniature World!

Adam Savage checks in on the status of sculptor Johnny Fraser-Allen's tabletop model, which has grown from the intricate Labyrinth we saw two years ago to a sprawling world steeped in fantasy architecture and landscapes that come alive. We're awestruck by the design and details of these models, which Johnny has brilliantly made to be modular and customizable. We can't wait to play in Hagglethorn Hollow!

A note from Johnny about the status of this model and kit:
Since the filming of this video the product has gone through significant development and after consideration to the market for this product, we have decided to release the range first as physical products with 3D STL files in the near future.

Ghost in the Shell: The Weta Workshop Story

Weta Workshop is pleased to release new, never before seen footage of the incredible year-long process of designing and crafting Ghost in the Shell for the screen.
Involving every department at the Workshop, from DesignStudio to Animatronics to Costume and beyond, Weta Workshop worked side by side with director Rupert Sanders and his team to conceptualise Masamune Shirow's seminal property for a live action setting.
Ground-breaking silicone suits. Full 3D printed endo skeletons. Animatronic geisha heads with interior working mechanisms. This was a project of immense complexity, that we were hugely proud to be a part of.

Crafting Superhero Suits for Power Rangers: Weta Workshop

On the anniversary of Power Rangers, we take a look back at the hugely challenging, incredibly rewarding, process of developing the Rangers' suits' intergalactic armour.

Day 76: Today we are checking out not one but two Weta WorkshopTours in Wellington to see the behind-the-scenes of The Lord of the Rings and Thunderbirds Are Go!

-- About this video --
Today we are jumping on a bus from Wellington CityCentre in New Zealand and heading over to Miramar, the home of Weta Studios, Weta Cave and the Weta Workshop!
Weta are the props and special effects team behind huge movies and TV shows, most famously The Lord of the Rings and Avatar, so visiting the Weta Workshop is a must for a Lord of the Rings in New Zealand experience. #realmiddleearth
We arrive at the free portion of Weta’s offerings in Miramar, The Weta Cave. At the Weta Cave you can take a look in their mini museum of Lord of the Rings props and figurines. There is also a behind-the-scenes video to explain the work that Weta Studios and Weta Digital do.
For a more in-depth look at Weta’s work, we join a Weta Workshop Tour which takes us to one of their prop rooms and has windows looking into Weta workers creating props for their next movie. The Weta Workshop Tour allows no photography or filming but it’s a great insight into the movie industry.
After our Weta Workshop Tour, we head on one more tour to see how miniature effects are made with the Weta Thunderbirds Are Go tour. Although we don’t know much about the Thunderbirds Are Go! TV show, we are surprised to be amazed by the miniature worlds created by the Weta New Zealand team. We might even go as far as to say that it was our personal favourite Weta Tour of the day!
So what do you think of the Weta Workshop Tours in Wellington? Would you add the Weta Cave or Weta Workshop Tours to your New Zealand bucket list?

Weta Workshop Sculptor's Tabletop Miniature World!

Adam Savage checks in on the status of sculptor Johnny Fraser-Allen's tabletop model, which has grown from the intricate Labyrinth we saw two years ago to a sprawling world steeped in fantasy architecture and landscapes that come alive. We're awestruck by the design and details of these models, which Johnny has brilliantly made to be modular and customizable. We can't wait to play in Hagglethorn Hollow!

A note from Johnny about the status of this model and kit:
Since the filming of this video the product has gone through significant development and after consideration to the market for this product, we have decided to release the range first as physical products with 3D STL files in the near future.

Ghost in the Shell: The Weta Workshop Story

Weta Workshop is pleased to release new, never before seen footage of the incredible year-long process of designing and crafting Ghost in the Shell for the screen.
Involving every department at the Workshop, from DesignStudio to Animatronics to Costume and beyond, Weta Workshop worked side by side with director Rupert Sanders and his team to conceptualise Masamune Shirow's seminal property for a live action setting.
Ground-breaking silicone suits. Full 3D printed endo skeletons. Animatronic geisha heads with interior working mechanisms. This was a project of immense complexity, that we were hugely proud to be a part of.

Day 76: Today we are checking out not one but two Weta WorkshopTours in Wellington to see the behind-the-scenes of The Lord of the Rings and Thunderbirds Are Go!

30 Tips for Backpacking in New Zealand ➜https://youtu.be/Q6m9KB-njRk
-- About this video --
Today we are jumping on a bus from Wellington CityCentre in New Zealand and heading over to Miramar, the home of Weta Studios, Weta Cave and the Weta Workshop!
Weta are the props and special effects team behind huge movies and TV shows, most famously The Lord of the Rings and Avatar, so visiting the Weta Workshop is a must for a Lord of the Rings in New Zealand experience. #realmiddleearth
We arrive at the free portion of Weta’s offerings in Miramar, The Weta Cave. At the Weta Cave you can take a look in their mini museum of Lord of the Rings props and figurines. There is also a behind-the-scenes video to explain the work that Weta Studios and Weta Digital do.
For a more in-depth look at Weta’s work, we join a Weta Workshop Tour which takes us to one of their prop rooms and has windows looking into Weta workers creating props for their next movie. The Weta Workshop Tour allows no photography or filming but it’s a great insight into the movie industry.
After our Weta Workshop Tour, we head on one more tour to see how miniature effects are made with the Weta Thunderbirds Are Go tour. Although we don’t know much about the Thunderbirds Are Go! TV show, we are surprised to be amazed by the miniature worlds created by the Weta New Zealand team. We might even go as far as to say that it was our personal favourite Weta Tour of the day!
So what do you think of the Weta Workshop Tours in Wellington? Would you add the Weta Cave or Weta Workshop Tours to your New Zealand bucket list?

Crafting Superhero Suits for Power Rangers: Weta Workshop

On the anniversary of Power Rangers, we take a look back at the hugely challenging, incredibly rewarding, process of developing the Rangers' suits' intergalactic armour.
With an embedded texture, 'glowing' veins & and a technically advanced Lycra underlayer, these suits were awesome fun to help design and create - and we were thrilled to have the opportunity to work with the Power Rangers' crew on set in Vancouver!

Chainmail

For The Lord of the Rings film trilogy realistic looking PVCchainmail was made, not just for the lead actors, but also for the hundreds of extras that appeared throughout the films. PVC pipe was cut into rings, assembled by hand into armor, and then electroplated. A total of 12.5 million links were manufactured from 7 miles of PVC pipe.
